Risotto is undoubtedly another track to follow, but also flambé crustaceans, flavored with Tonka bean for example, as well as Norman cheeses (Pont L’évêque, Livarot).

Visual analysis
L’Authentique 2008 features a fairly deep pale yellow colour. It is discreetly animated by fine and regular bubbles. The visual presentation announces structure and energy.Olfactory analysis
The first nose immediately takes us on a journey. We perceive vanilla, very ripe pineapple, some exotic fruits too.Then the northern origins, express aromas like spring honey, pear, butter. Later it’s the turn of white pepper and citrus zest to recall our olfactory memory. It is a complex nose, the expression of a wine that seems to have a lot to tell.
Taste analysis
The initial impact on the palate is both complex and sharp. We simultaneously perceive the acidity, the effervescence and the tannins of the Cuvée. It opens on a robust, tense, very structured mouth. The consistency of the wine generates a feeling of concentration, with a tight, dense texture. This structure, enhanced by the aging in oak barrels tends to dominate the effervescence and dosage, offers a Burgundian character to the whole.The final
The finish is complex and sapid. It turns out to be mineral, acidic, tannic, effervescent, slightly sweet ...Incredibly baroque and inviting to eat!
